Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman acknowledged that he understands why he was a healthy scratch for the first time in his career Sunday in Green Bay.

“Yeah, I understand. I do understand,” Perriman said in the locker room after practice Wednesday. “I don’t totally agree with it, but I understand why it happened.”

Perriman, the Ravens’ first-round draft pick in 2015, amassed just seven receptions on 26 targets in the Ravens’ first nine games.

Per league rules, the team must declare seven of its 53 players inactive for every game. Head Coach John Harbaugh and the coaches base those moves on what they think they’ll need from various players and positions that day, with injuries and the game plan figuring prominently in the decision-making.
